December 2006 Forecast

Key Events:  

Full Moon 12/4/2006

New Moon 12/20/2006

Saturn Retrograde 12/6/2006

Considering that the Holidays will be upon us, which means lots of parties, it's certainly not surprising (or rocket science) that your interaction with your social circle is going to expand this month.  However, in view of what's going on in the solar system, it's likely to be more significant and memorable than usual, particularly because Jupiter is going to be there.  Jupiter tends to expand things (probably including your waistline, this time of year) but he's generally a benefic planet that brings along some good luck and enthusiasm.  The New Moon on the 20th will throw some additional light on this area and perhaps usher in a new beginning of some sort as well.  So plan to enjoy yourself, perhaps reconnect with some old friends and possibly make some new ones. 

Changes relative to your possessions are still likely and will continue to be for sometime to come.  Something could possibly breakdown, get lost or wear out around the first few days of December.  If this is the case, don't go overboard with the replacement unless you can really afford it.

Toward the end of the month you may find yourself more introspective than usual as the Sun moves into your Natural 12th House which affects your subconscious.  Venus will have moved into that area on the 11th, and being a benefic planet this should generally have a positive effect.

The Full Moon on December 4th is in Gemini, which is your Natural 5th House, which affects your children, creative endeavors and lovelife.  This will be particularly significant, most likely in a very good way, if your birthday occurs the last few days of January or first few of February.  This could bring an especially pleasant experience with your children or you may rediscover someone you already know or meet someone new with whom to start a new relationship, depending on your circumstances.  If the latter is the case, be sure to look your best, be on your best behavior and keep your eyes open (and as a classic Air Sign, perhaps your mouth shut). 

On December 6th Saturn goes retrograde and neither "Saturn" nor "retrograde" is a particularly pleasant entity as a rule.  When this happens approximately once a year, it tends to isolate some area of your life for renovation.  Since Saturn is currently in Leo, which is your Natural 7th House of relationships, this is where this rebuild will occur.  (However, depending on how the Houses fall on your Natal Chart, this could be affecting some other facet of your life as well.)   If you haven't been particularly satisfied with this area of your life, this will be a time when your subconscious is doing some serious ruminations about it.  It is similar to a gestational period when something is going on but its below the surface and you can't quite put your finger on it other than to know that you're restless or frustrated about something. 

If, perchance, you meet someone interesting this month, as indicated by the Full Moon (see above), then you may find that you're a little confused, albeit attracted, to this special someone.  Perhaps they are nothing like the image you had in mind for your "perfect match" or there is something else about them you don't quite feel comfortable with.  Your subconscious will be busy analyzing and sorting through your past opinions and experiences relative to relationships and putting together an entirely new attitude.  This analysis will be in effect for several months, until April 20 to be exact, when something is likely to happen that gets your attention in this area.  Sometime in July the light will fully dawn and you'll realize what has been going on all along.  At that time you'll be able to look back with 20:20 hindsight to what has occurred and realize that you've crossed a river of sorts and have an entirely different outlook than you did before.  Thus, it won't necessary appear to be a fruitful time, yet when all is said and done you'll realize that it has been and you'll not only be a few months older but quite a bit wiser in knowing what you want in this area of your life.

Thus, this month will be one that should be pleasant, though it also holds the nascent new beginnings for the rest of your life relative to how you view relationships.  If you tend to feel indecisive or confused, don't fret about it too much but trust the Universe to explain it all in due time, most likely next summer.
